Weekly Shopping List

       Phyllo (filo) dough normally comes frozen.  Thaw it in the package, then refrigerate it for up to 30 days.  It can also be refrozen, twice. Either way, make certain that it's wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.  The trick to phyllo is to never let it dry out.  Cover the sheets you are not using with plastic wrap, then a damp towel.  Never let them bare for more than a minute.  We'll be using filo a few times over the next weeks.
Frozen spinach is another pantry staple for winter.  Buy it in bags of balls or cubes, if possible,  so you can use just what you need.
